This fashionable gradient hat is knitted in a cable pattern using ALIZE LanaGold 800 yarn in two shades. You can easily knit it using this detailed step-by-step description!

You will need:

• ALIZE LanaGold 800 yarn in two shades,
• fur pompom,
• straight knitting needles No. 4 and two sets of knitting needles on fishing line No. 5,
• additional knitting needle for knitting overlaps,
• hook for stitching.

Yarn consumption (4-ply thread): a little more than 100 g.

In this case, shades 200 and 182 are used. For a smooth color gradient, it is recommended to use colors of the same color scheme. In this case, contrasting shades were used and the color transition was less smooth.

Hat with gradient knitting needles: description

The elastic of the hat is knitted on straight needles of a smaller size (No. 4), and the main fabric is knitted on circular needles. This is done so that the elastic band stretches less when worn and holds its shape better. Loops in an elastic band, knitted on straight knitting needles, turn out more even and do not “dance.” If you have enough knitting experience, you can immediately start knitting a hat on circular knitting needles. Then it will not have a seam.

• Hat size: uniform 54-58, it stretches quite well. Also, the width of the product will depend on the knitting density. For a more accurate calculation, it is necessary to knit a sample.

How to knit a hat with a gradient

The hat is knitted with 4 folds of thread. This is done for a smooth gradient and warmth. It is convenient to knit from two skeins of one shade and two skeins of a different shade. One thread is taken from the top of the skein, and the second is pulled out from its middle. If there is one skein of each color, then the yarn needs to be wound into 4 balls.

So, on straight knitting needles in shade 182 you need to cast on 120 stitches and knit 12 rows with a 2*2 elastic band.

Then add 24 loops evenly, for a total of 144 loops (that’s 12 braid repeats). An additional loop is knitted with a crossed knit stitch from the broach.

Next, you need to transfer knitting a hat with a gradient to circular knitting needles, close it in a ring and continue knitting according to the main pattern. A diagram of the basic braid pattern is given below. To make it easier to knit the overlaps, you need to knit not tightly. Then the relief of the pattern will be more pronounced and voluminous.

When the first three rows are knitted in the braid pattern (just knit), it's time to start the color transition. To do this, one thread of a dark color is replaced with one thread of a light shade. The working thread will consist of three dark threads and one light thread. Next, knitting continues according to the pattern, tying out the braids. The next thread change must be made through four knitted rows (in the 9th row of the braid pattern). Then the working thread will contain two dark and two light threads.

Then, also after four rows, another dark thread is replaced with a light one, and so on, until the yarn is completely replaced.

All this time, the fabric of the hat is knitted according to the pattern, knitting out the overlaps.

When the desired height of the knitted hat is reached (18-20 cm), they begin to make decreases. To do this, divide the total number of loops by 8 and make decreases with paths every 18 loops of the row. Two adjacent loops are knitted together with a slant to the left (slip the first loop behind the front wall, knit the second one and pull it through the removed loop) in each row. When 20-25 loops remain on the knitting needles, they are pulled into a ring, the thread is tied in a knot and hidden.

To decorate the hat, you can use not only a fur pom-pom, but also a thread pom-pom, which can be made from the remaining yarn.

You need to wash a knitted hat carefully, by hand. Or wash on the delicate cycle in the washing machine, after removing the pompom. The fur pompom absolutely cannot stand washing. When hand washing, it can be wrapped in a plastic bag or removed if it has ties. Dry only in a horizontal position, spread on a thick cloth.

And to help you, here is a video that shows in detail how to knit a hat with the same “braid with 12 loops” pattern as this hat. Only in this video it is made from plain yarn.

Knitted hats are the most popular theme for needlewomen. A warm model with your favorite color and pattern will fit perfectly into a fashionable look. A hat with braids is always popular, which is suitable for a girl or girl, as well as for women of any age.
The most important thing is that braids are a universal knitting pattern that goes well with a man’s wardrobe. To get a warm, cozy item, it’s good to watch a video, a master class, or find a description of knitting technology. If pattern
for the first time, we offer a master class on how to correctly perform this drawing.

Knitting a “braid”

To master this knitting pattern, you should stock up on additional tools. To make the “braid” or “braid” patterns look neat, purchase a special knitting needle.

With its help you can significantly reduce your work time and get a beautiful pattern. Another nuance - the additional knitting needle is taken one number less than the main ones. If this is not possible, then do not be upset. An ordinary pin will help even a novice knitter handle braids. Especially when you decide to knit a hat with narrow braids. An excellent result will be ensured by:

There are many types of braids. They are:

• simple;
• double;
• triple;
• decorative.

Each of them has its own advantages. For a girl, it is good to knit a hat that is not too bulky. But a women's knitted model with knitting needles will be very impressive with decorative or triple braids. An original solution would be to knit a hat with a gradient. This is the name given to the smooth transition of a knitted fabric from one color to another shade.

There is a detailed description for each type of pattern. Experienced knitters post their own videos or master classes to help beginners master the basics of knitting and popular patterns. Let's start knitting.

A simple master class on knitting a hat with braids

The first step is to take the main measurement - head circumference. Considering that the pattern tightens the canvas a little, add a couple of centimeters to the result.
The number of loops is calculated using the usual method.
Cast on the loops on the knitting needles and knit an elastic band.

Having knitted the required length, move on to the pattern. Divide the loops into knit stitches (for braiding) and purl stitches (for dividing). Continue knitting the length required for the height of the hat.

The next step is to make decreases. In order not to disturb the pattern, you need to decrease the purl loops. In this case, our “braids” will converge.

When there are no more than 10-12 loops left on the knitting needles, they need to be pulled together. Now all that remains is to make and sew on the pompom. If making this element is difficult, watch the corresponding video or master class.

The sequence of work will be the same. Measurements are taken - head circumference and length of the product. For knitting take
and yarn of appropriate thickness.

Knit a sample with the selected pattern and calculate the knitting density. Cast on the required number of stitches with knitting needles and knit in the round with an elastic band. Having knitted the required length, move on to the pattern. Knit according to the pattern or take a description that indicates one fragment (rapport).
The first decreases are made on the purl stitches when the knitted hat is almost the desired height. Then they continue to decrease on knit stitches, and in the last row you need to knit all the loops in twos. The loops remaining on the knitting needle are pulled together and the thread is secured on the wrong side.
Women's hats are also decorated with pompoms. This fur element looks original.
The next master class will be devoted to knitting a hat for a girl. To give the knitted hat a beautiful texture, add pearl knitting to the chosen type of braid.
The model for women is knitted in the round using knitting needles on fishing line or flagellum.

First, the head circumference is measured and the required knitting density is calculated.
After knitting, the elastic bands are transferred to the pattern. Calculate the number of braids that fit on the canvas and make adjustments. If necessary, add or reduce the number of loops (it is better to add).
Knit the required height of the hat and begin decreasing as in the classic version. For the baby, you can additionally knit a bottom hat, which is sewn on from the bottom. This is done after the loops on the top are completely closed. The bottom hat is made with stockinette stitch, then sewn to the main one and the product is decorated with braids with a fluffy pompom.
A very useful video for beginners will help you knit a hat with a “braid” pattern.

A wonderful fashionable hat with braids, knitted with a gradient, will decorate a stylish girl in the cold season. An interesting pattern makes it original, taking into account modern fashion trends. It all depends on the choice of colors to create such an accessory, which is quite important for any girl. A gradient hat with braids, the knitting pattern of which is located in the article, can also become a warm element of your wardrobe, thanks to the voluminous pattern. You don’t even have to think about whether to knit it or not. Start preparing for winter right now and pick up your knitting needles. The description of the hat is designed for knitting on two needles; if you want to knit in the round, then it is worth considering that you will not have edge loops and purl rows.

To knit a hat with gradient knitting needles with braids you will need:
— yarn of two colors (100g/280m);
- knitting needles 4;
- spool of thread;
- scissors;
- additional spoke;
- needle;
- hook;
- a device for a pompom (if you want to make one);
- tape measure.

Yarn is needed in 4 skeins, two skeins of each color. You can share your skeins

Before you start knitting a hat with gradient braids, you should understand the pattern. The braid consists of 3 parts, each with 4 loops and a total of 12 loops in width. The hat is knitted without intermediate loops between the braids.


Rows 1-5 are knitted in stockinette stitch. The sixth row is already starting to weave. We remove four loops onto an additional needle before work. Next, rows 7 - 11 are knitted in satin stitch and then we make the second weave - 4 loops are removed on an additional needle while working.
Consider the repeat of the braids. Using the sample, you can calculate how many stitches you need to cast on in total. It is best to knit two braids side by side in the pattern.


In this example, 12 loops are cast on for one braid, 6 for purl stitches (three on each side) and 2 edge loops. There are 20 loops in total.

The first five rows, as mentioned above, are knitted in stockinette stitch: on the wrong side - purl, on the front side - knit. The weaves are made on the front side, so you need to start knitting from the purl row.

Remove the edge, 3 knit (on the front side - purl), 12 purl, 3 front, edge.

Turn the product over and knit the front row


So we knit 5 rows. The 5th should be on the wrong side.

In the sixth row there will be the first weave. 1 edge, 3 purl, which will not be part of the braid).

Remove 4 loops of the braid from an additional knitting needle and leave it before work, and the working thread behind work.


We knit 4 loops that are on the left knitting needle.

Return the loops that are on the additional knitting needle to the left knitting needle.

We knit 8 braid loops and finish with 3 purls and 1 edge stitch.

This is how we got our first weave.


Using rapport we knit 5 rows according to the pattern
Rows 7-11


In the 12th row there will be a second weave

Remove the edge, purl 3, 4 stitches. Thread before work, and on the additional knitting needle there should be 4 loops for the braid after work. We knit 4 loops of the braid and return the loops from the additional knitting needle to the knitting needle, knitting them. at the end of the row 3 purl, 1 edge.

We have received a repeat of the braid, it will be repeated vertically and horizontally.


Now you need to start calculating the gradient cap itself with braids, the description of which is described below.

First you need to make a 2*2 elastic band sample. Knit the sample, the number of loops should be a multiple of 4 + 2 edge stitches. Knit several rows. Now you need to lay out the knitting and measure how many centimeters the pattern itself occupies. For example, 19cm = 24 loops.


Now continue knitting the pattern with braids, at least rapport in height. This pattern requires 12 loops +2 edge loops per braid.
For example, we make three braids and 3 purl loops around them. Total 44 loops with edge loops.
By knitting rapport, you will get 36 loops of the pattern = 12 cm in height, 12 rows = 5-5.5 cm.


For a head volume of 56 cm, we calculate the proportion.

We calculate the sample. We get that for an elastic band:
24p.=19 cm.
X = 56cm.
X = 24*56/19 = 71p. Round to a multiple of 4 and add 2 edge stitches = 74 loops.

For braids we calculate in the same way. We get: x = 144 loops. 12 braids But for a hat this may be too much and we will reduce it by 1 braid. We get 144 -12 + 2 edge loops = 134 loops.
That is, after the elastic you need to add another 60 loops (134-74 = 60).

Now let's calculate the height. Based on the old hat, roughly estimate what height you want. Let's say 22 cm. This is 6.5 cm of elastic and the rest is the braid pattern = 15.5 cm. just three rapports.
The figure shows a schematic color transition. The lower part of the hat is knitted from blue threads. (6.5 cm elastic band and braids)

To decrease the cap you need to leave 5-9 rows.

From the pictures you can see that 8 rows are knitted in blue. 13 rows - 1 blue, second gray. 16 rows in gray with two threads. To better smooth out the transition in rows 4-8, you can tie a gray thread from the spool. Can also be done in rows 22-25, but with blue thread.

We cast on 74 loops according to our calculations and knit an elastic band. In the picture it is 7.5 cm, but stretched, and if the product is pulled wide, we get 6.5 cm.


Let's increase the loops to 134 pcs. It is better to do this on the front side. The first loop is knitted from the bottom row, do not remove the loop from the left knitting needle, but knit the second one from it as usual.

You can add 5-6 loops at once. And then knit 1 without adding and again 5-6 at once.

Received 134 loops


There is an elastic band, you can start rapport with braids. After three such rows, add gray thread from the spool. Knit up to the 8th row.


9th row. We tear off the thread from the spool and the blue thread, adding gray. We knit rows 9-21.

In the 22nd row, tear off the blue one, replacing it with the second gray one.

Knit until the row in which decrease 9 begins, approximately row 29)


In the table you can see the scheme for decreasing loops for our hat with a gradient with braids.


According to the pattern, in the 30th row you need to make weaves when an additional needle remains before work.

Add three loops to each braid. You will get 33 loops, since there are 11 stitches.

We do decreases like this: we knit the weave according to the pattern - remove 4 additional loops. Leave the knitting needle before work. The 4 loops are as follows: 2 usually, the last two together.

Let's return the loops from the additional needle to the left one. We knit the first 2 stitches together and the second two loops as usual.

We will knit the third part of the braid in the same way.


According to the decreasing schedule: cutting the loops in the weaves, we knit two rows 31-32 according to the pattern. In 33 we knit 2 loops as usual, 2 together, 2 as usual, and 2 together, continuing to the end of the row.
Rows 34-35 according to the pattern.

There should be 10-20 stitches left on the knitting needles to get a beautiful crown of the hat with gradient braids. The description of the hat is quite detailed, so it should not create problems when recreating such an interesting accessory.

If after the 35th row there are still many loops left, then continue decreasing according to the same principle.

19 loops left.
Cut the thread, leaving the end for stitching. Pull the hook through the remaining loops.

Using a needle and this thread, carefully pull it together and sew it along the wrong side.


Thus, our gradient hat with comas will be ready. But you can decorate it with a pompom and add originality.

With the help of a special device, the pompom will turn out smooth and neat.

But you can also use a cardboard template.

Gradient patterns have been an absolute trend lately.

Designers began to actively use it to create clothing and accessories. Essentially, it represents a smooth transition between colors.

Gradient hat

The gradient can be made in both bright colors and pastel colors. If you want to be on trend, be sure to buy a stylish accessory - a hat with a gradient or, in other words, a hat in the Lalo style.

Gradient hat - lalo technique

Lalo is a complex technique that involves a gradual transition of shades and a large number of braids. Not every master can take on such work, but in the end the product turns out luxurious!

Popular models of gradient hats

A knitted hat with a gradient and braids can significantly transform the image and warm the owner. This pattern adds volume and texture to the headdress. This model is a win-win option for ladies with large facial features. As an option, you can choose an accessory with a pompom.

Current fashion offers a huge selection of hats. Nowadays, comfortable beanie hats with a lowered top remain in trend. Another fashionable youth option is a stocking cap with braids.

The model of a hat with a lapel looks no less stylish. Volumetric braids can be present on only one lapel. It is often knitted separately and then sewn to the finished headdress. In this case, the main part is made with elastic or satin stitch. This hat suits everyone and also goes with any outfit.

Who suits a hat with a gradient?

A hat with a gradient does not suit everyone. Due to the numerous large braids, this accessory is quite voluminous. Stylists recommend wearing it to ladies with a square or round face shape, as well as girls with a dense body build.

If you decide to knit such a hat or order it from a craftsman, be sure to add a large pompom to it. This technique helps to visually elongate the shape of the accessory.

What can and cannot be worn with a gradient hat?

A headdress with a gradient is always bold, stylish and bright. Such an accessory is sure to attract attention, and therefore it becomes the main accent in the image.

When choosing outerwear, you should opt for thin jackets and down jackets, so as not to become a snowman by wearing a hat with a puffy down jacket. One voluminous item in the image will be enough!

You cannot combine a hat with a bright color gradient with colorful clothing items. and scarves. It is better that the remaining elements of the image are of a single color.

Stylists suggest combining the accessory with pastel shades coats straight cut. It can be gray, pink or caramel. You need to understand that if you bought a coat, for example, pink, then the hat should have similar shades.

Lovers of the “Lalo” style can complement the hat with a scarf of the same color scheme. However, Lalo's hat and cardigan of this style are too much! You also can’t overdo it with brightness.

Braids are very popular this winter! Hats with braids, snoods, scarves, even mittens: everything with braids and arans! And color! If you like a gradient, then for the hat you need to take yarn as thin as possible in 3 colors in order to make a smooth transition from one color to another. We knit in several threads. The transition is carried out by gradually replacing a thread of one color with a thread of another color.

We will need circular or sock knitting needles No. 3 (for the elastic, it should be knitted more tightly) and No. 4, a marker to indicate the beginning of the row.

The thicker the yarn and knitting needles, the fewer braids there will be in the hat. In my opinion, a hat looks more interesting when there are more braids.

How to knit a braid.

This hat is knitted with braids according to this pattern. The braid consists of 12 loops. The number of purl loops before and after the braids can be adjusted. You can knit without any purl stitches between the braids. This pattern is called differently: royal braid, braid with shadow, braid.

Hat with braids, description of knitting.

Knit a sample. It must be said that the braids greatly tighten the fabric, so for the elastic we will cast on a smaller number of loops, and then we will add loops for the braids. The sample was knitted, washed, and dried flat. Now we count how many loops you need to cast on. Measure your head circumference. If you knit a hat that fits tightly to the head, then subtract 3 cm; if it is looser or you knit a spandex thread, then there is no need to subtract.

Decided on the number of loops. Remember that the number of loops must be even if we knit with an elastic band of 1*1, and divided by 4 if we knit with an elastic band of 2*2. We cast on 1 more loop so that. We knit an elastic band, knit 1, purl 1. or k2, p2 6-7 cm or 12-15 cm if the hat has a lapel. A hat with braids will be warmer if you knit the lapel.

Next we will knit the pattern. To do this, we make increases and switch to larger knitting needles. If I cast on 96 loops on the elastic band, that’s 8 braid repeats, then I’ll add 1 more repeat (12 loops) and between the braids 1 purl loop on both sides (more is possible) +18 loops. Total: 96+12+18=126 loops. Now we knit according to a pattern of approximately 20 cm.

We make decreases in the crown.

Row 1: *P1, knit 2 together, knit 1, knit 2 together, knit 1, knit 2 together, knit 1, knit 2 together, knit 1, purl 1* Repeat ** 9 times

2nd row: knit 2 purl loops together, knit knit stitches

3rd row: We knit a braid from 9 loops: where there were 4 loops, there will be 3 loops

Row 4: knit according to the pattern (all knits)

Row 5: *2 together, knit 1, k2 together, k1, k2 together, k1.* Repeat ** 9 times

Row 6: knit according to the pattern (all knits)

Row 7: braid of 6 loops (2 loops each)

Rows 8 and 9: knit according to the pattern (all knits)

Row 10: 2 stitches together until the end of the row

Row 11: braid of 3 loops

Row 12: 2 stitches together

Row 13: knit 1, knit 2 together until the end of the row

We tighten the remaining loops on the needle, cut the thread, and hide the tip. We send it to the WTO.

You can shape the crown in another way: We close each braid with wedges on both sides (you will have 9 wedges). We decrease as follows: we knit 2 loops together with a slant to the left, 10 knit stitches, then again 2 knit loops with a slant to the right, and so on until the end of the row. In the next row we decrease again in the same way until 2 stitches remain from each wedge. We tighten it with a thread and the braided hat is ready.

Sew on the pompom. To prevent it from dangling, we sew its ends at a distance of about 5 cm from each other.

Braided hat and snood.

I cast on 60 loops for the hat, after 14 rows with a 1x1 elastic band I added 4 loops (every 15 loops), for multiplicity - 4 reports of 16 loops. Knit to the required length (mine is 21 cm). Next, form the crown (4 cm), and close the loops.
Hat height 25 cm.
For the snood I cast on 76 stitches, 2 rows with a 1x1 rib, and then stockinette stitch with elements of the hat pattern.
I finished with 2 rows of 1x1 ribbing and closed the edge with a needle.

Option No. 3

An original hat with seven braids.

To knit it, you will need NAKO Nakolen yarn 100 g / 210 m, No. 5 circular knitting needles with a shortened fishing line.

Description

We will knit without a seam from the bottom up.

We cast on 81 loops, close. There are 80 loops on the knitting needles. We knit with an elastic band * 1 knit crossed, 1 purl * 7 rows (a different number is possible).

In the next row we add loops for braids. We will knit all the braids, starting with the front one, in the middle we will knit 2 from one loop. That is, the first braid of 4 loops: the front one, no longer crossed, 2 knit ones from the purl loop, the front one. The second braid of 6 loops: 2 knit, 2 knit from one, 2 knit. Next we knit according to the pattern for 40 rows.

How to knit braids with knitting needles diagram

Now we form the top of the head. Decrease 6 stitches evenly in each row. First, one at a time in intervals of 5 purl loops and in garter stitch, then in wide braids, loops in the middle, then in narrow braids. Pull the remaining 6 loops, cut the thread and hide the tip inside the hat.
